Snow Storm Causes Bridgewater-Raritan Schools To Amend 2017 Calendar

BRIDGEWATER, NJ — Due to the late snow this winter, Bridgewater-Raritan Regional School District has exhausted all three of their snow days for the 2016-17 school year.

As a result, the calendar for the remainder of the year has been amended. Spring Break will be extended to include closing school on Monday, April 17 in exchange for the opening of school on Thursday, April 27.

"This change will allow students consistent continuity of instruction once school resumes again on April 18th," the district stated.

In the event that schools need to be closed prior to the Spring Break, the district will be opened on Monday, April 17.

The amended calendar will be presented for Board approval at the April 4 Board meeting.
